Ephesians 81-82_07 Ephesians 1:3-5
Ephesians 1981-82 Corps Teachings. Lesson 4: Ephesians 1:3-5. EPHESIANS 1:3-5 September 30, 1981 Tonight Ephesians 1, please. Verse 3. King James reads: Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath [past tense] blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: The word “blessed,” Corps, in the Greek is in the aorist tense. It means a one-time deal, one time. When you...people, when you were born again, He blessed you one time. He doesn’t have to bless you again. It’s always there—it’s always there. It’s in the aorist tense. That’s why it’s in the aorist tense. The reason He blessed us so that we may bless Him. He blessed us first. Like, He loved us first in Christ Jesus that we could love. He blessed us so that we could bless Him. How can John Paul bless the Wierwille family without us first blessing him by getting him born? It’s so simple to me. Should be simple in your heads. So He blessed us once and for all that we in turn could bless Him by true worship—by true worship. And true worship is not an eleven o’clock meeting on Sunday morning. True worship is what Corinthians speaks of when we speak in tongues, worshipping Him. “God is spirit” that John talks about, the gospel, worshipping Him truly by way of the spirit. And whenever you and I do that, then God is blessed. You see, God blessed so that we could bless Him. That’s Ephesians 1:3. In verse 6, it says: Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace,… God blessed to the praise of the glory, to the praise of the glory, to the praise. Verse 12, we should be: Ephesians 1:12 …the praise of His glory. Praise of His glory, again. Verse 14. Ephesians 1:14 …earnest of our inheritance…unto the praise of his [what?] {glory}. Three times: verses 6, 12 and 14. God blessed so that we can be to the praise—to the praise of His glory. The Greek word is the word eulogeō (or something), it’d transliterated into English…in our English word “eulogize”—eulogize. Well,
